Chapter 218 Spells and Magic

  Hearing what Chi Yao said, Liao Zhong looked bitter.

"I have only heard of the Double Hand and the Eight Wonders, but I have no idea whether I can find them."

"But since you brought it up, I guess you already have some clues?"

Chi Yao shook his head and said.

"I'm sorry, but the timing is not right now. I can't tell you."

Chi Yao was using the magic weapon made by Ma Xianhong. Everything they said would be heard by Ma Xianhong. Chi Yao could not point out Qu Tong's problem now, as this would definitely cause Ma Xianhong's suspicion and even hostility.

Chi Yao waved his hand, his figure became invisible and disappeared into the air, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air.

"People from the company are coming soon. I'm leaving first. If the time is right, I'll come back to see you, Liao Zhong."

"Wait, then how can I find you?!" Liao Zhong shouted hurriedly. He still had many questions to ask, but Chi Yao's figure had already disappeared without a trace.

——

Chi Yao walked out of the workshop and approached Ma Xianhong who was waiting in the distance.

"We have dealt with this matter, let's go back to Biyou Village."

Ma Xianhong already knew what had happened from the communication device. He nodded and drove towards Biyou Village.

After traveling for a while, the two returned to Biyou Village.

Ma Xianhong spoke first.

"It's getting late today. Go to bed early. I'll come back tomorrow to help you perfect the self-cultivation furnace."

"Okay." Chi Yao didn't have any thoughts on Ma Xianhong's proposal and was happy to be at ease.

Ma Xianhong then assigned a Ruhua robot to take Chi Yao to the rest room.

It has to be said that Ma Xianhong, the successor of the Divine Machine Bailian, has really impressive engineering construction capabilities. He managed to build a village in these desolate mountains and wilderness, and all the houses are well-equipped with all the daily living facilities.

Chi Yao checked and found no gadgets for eavesdropping or peeping, but just in case, Chi Yao still set up a barrier in his room.

Chi Yao sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the book of magic knowledge given by Isaac.

Chi Yao has been busy dealing with various matters these days and has no time to look through this book of magical knowledge.

This is a book with exquisite binding made of paper. The paper is soft yet a little tough, as if it was made from some magical plant.

Chi Yao opened it, and found inside were some spells with various functions similar to those in Harry Potter, such as apparition, twinkle, restoration, cleansing, etc.

The more Chi Yao read, the more he was impressed. "This is a one-person version of Harry Potter magic, and the effects are even more varied. This should be considered a spell of the spell system, and some of it even involves rule-based spells. It is quite different from the elemental spells I used before, so you can learn from it."

Chi Yao turned to the end and found that the book did not record black magic. "That's right, this book should be considered a regular spell guide. Isaac would not directly teach me the knowledge of black magic."

Chi Yao tried to learn the magic in this book. The book explained the flow and construction of mana when casting spells, as well as the resonance of mana with corresponding spells, so that the spells can be cast smoothly.

When the magic power grows to a certain level, the resonance of the flow of magic power and the construction of spells is enough to cast spells, and spells can be discarded to achieve silent casting.

Chi Yao had received formal instruction in elemental magic, and even though the flow of mana and the construction techniques were quite different from elemental magic, Chi Yao had grasped the key points after trying several times.

Chi Yao took out the Reverse Luck in the form of a staff, aimed it at the cup on the table beside him, and began to cast a spell according to the method taught in the magic knowledge book.

"Levitation spell!"

As Chi Yao's mana took shape, the mana seemed to resonate with the world, and the cup on the table began to float up.

Chi Yao closed his eyes and carefully felt everything during the casting process, and made a guess.

'This kind of spell uses one's own mana to resonate with the world, conforming to the rules of the world and causing a phenomenon that changes reality. In a sense, this is using mana to change the world, but it also depends on the world itself.'

'Just like humans discovered various phenomena and summarized their principles into science, the same is true for magic. Our ancestors summarized the laws of different magic power construction techniques and world resonance phenomena, and thus summarized various spells.'

Chi Yao opened his eyes and looked at the magic book in his hand, immersed in the ocean of magic knowledge.

——The

next morning, Chi Yao was meditating to restore his energy after studying.

"Bang, bang, bang"

There was a knock on the door, followed by Ma Xianhong's energetic greeting.

"Laoyao, are you up? How was your rest last night?"

Chi Yao stood up, washed up briefly, opened the door, and saw Ma Xianhong, dressed in a casual white shirt and barefoot, waving at him.

"Not bad, the facilities in the room are complete."

Ma Xianhong nodded and asked.

"That's good, Huiyao, have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet. I'm just about to make it." Chi Yao said, walked into the kitchen, and took out the ingredients and kitchen utensils that would be used later from the storage space.

Ma Xianhong sat down on a chair in the living room with a smile on his face.

"I've long wanted to try your cooking again. Let me have a meal."

Chi Yao glanced at Ma Xianhong who was already sitting down waiting for dinner, ignored him for the moment, and started making breakfast.

There was no need to be too particular about breakfast, so Chi Yao decided to make a bowl of plain noodles and pair it with fried dumplings.

Chi Yao took out the dough stored in the empty ring and kneaded it into two portions. He held both ends of one portion of the dough with both hands and began to roll the dough into thin strips.

Under Chi Yao's strength and with the help of the wind element, the noodles quickly took shape, soft yet chewy.

Chi Yao pressed the other portion of dough into a crust by leaning against the wind wall in the air, then added seasoned meat filling and wrapped it into dumplings.

Chi Yao boiled water in a pot, controlled the temperature, brought the water to a boil quickly, poured in the noodles, added a small amount of cold water after boiling, to cool down the noodles to ensure their chewiness, boiled them again and took them out for later use.

On the other side, pour oil into the frying pan, place the fried dumplings in it, and finally pour in the evenly stirred egg liquid. Control the heat temperature at all times to ensure that the fried dumplings and egg liquid are evenly heated.

Put seasoning, lard and chopped green onions in a bowl on the side, then pour in boiling water, put the noodles in it, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and it's done.

Chi Yao's skillful casting of the spell greatly accelerated the preparation of breakfast. Soon, Chi Yao brought the plain noodles and fried dumplings to the table.

Ma Xianhong was quite polite. As long as Chi Yao didn't move his chopsticks, he sat there motionless, but his eyes were fixed on the soup surface with oil droplets on it.

"Eat it." Chi Yao raised his chopsticks, picked up a fried dumpling and put it into his mouth, and said.

Seeing Chi Yao start eating, Ma Xianhong started to move. He picked up a ball of noodles and put it into his mouth. The chewy noodles seemed to dance in his mouth, the aroma of scallion oil went straight to his nostrils, and the warm soup went all the way from his mouth to his abdomen.

After eating plain noodles, Ma Xianhong turned his attention to fried dumplings. He put them in his mouth and took a bite. The crispy fried bottom shell with the charred egg skin opened, and the rich gravy gushed out with a strange meaty aroma. The meat filling was chewy and chewy, like a meatball that had been tempered a thousand times.

Ma Xianhong ate one mouthful of noodles after another of fried dumplings, hardly able to stop, and finished the food in front of him, praising Chi Yao.

"Laoyao, your cooking skills are incredible. The stew I made last time made me think about it for a long time."

Chi Yao nodded slightly, accepting Ma Xianhong's praise, and finished his breakfast according to the routine.

Then the two of them came to the self-cultivation furnace. The furnace door was already open, and it was obvious that Ma Xianhong had made advance preparations.

Chi Yao looked at Ma Xianhong and said.

"Old Ma, I've told you before that my methods are not pure sorcery, but just a little similar. I can't guarantee that your furnace will succeed."

Ma Xianhong nodded, looking determined.

"I know. I want to try all the abilities just to perfect the self-cultivation furnace. Even if I fail, it's not your problem."

When Chi Yao heard Ma Xianhong's promise to him, he smiled kindly.

"Really? Just be aware of this. If anything goes wrong, it won't be my fault."

"Don't worry, if something really goes wrong, I will never blame you then." Ma Xianhong replied.
